Ukraine-Russia Conflict Escalates: Retaliation and Civilian Casualties

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy warns that the war is returning to Russia, vowing that Moscow will learn the consequences of its actions. The conflict continues to escalate, with both sides engaging in cross-border attacks.

Russia has declared a state of emergency in the Voronezh region after a drone attack, while Ukrainian forces have taken control of hundreds of square kilometers in the Kursk region. The battles have resulted in the evacuation of over 130,000 people and the deaths of 31 civilians, with many more injured.

Russian forces are making progress in the city of Pokrovsk in eastern Ukraine. Additionally, there are concerns about a potential nuclear disaster if the Kursk nuclear power plant is targeted.

The conflict has also spread beyond the borders, with rockets hitting the city of Sumy and Hungarian accusations against the EU for interrupted oil deliveries. The UK has expressed support for Ukraine in their fight against Russia, acknowledging the country's struggle against superior forces.

As the situation unfolds, tensions continue to rise, and the impact on civilian lives becomes increasingly devastating.
